Report: Stage is set for recovery
Conditions that could support a housing recovery are taking shape now, but job losses, falling home prices and tight lending standards mean demand for housing remains "remarkably low," according to a new Harvard University report out today.

READER COMMENT

Premium Members"I was furious when my own association here in Dallas announced they were creating (an IDX) Web site ... I have spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours creating an effective Web site that brings me business. Now my own association is using the money I pay in fees to compete with me. The MLSs are, step-by-step, turning themselves into public utilities instead of serving the community of real estate agents who pay to keep them in existence." --Ken Lampton

INDUSTRY SPECIAL REPORTS

Premium MembersTeaming up for real estate success
Real estate agents can specialize in tasks best suited to their skill set and extend their reach by becoming team players. There are many models for real estate teams -- some use a blend of agents and non-agents to serve clients, and there are also a range of commission-sharing models.


Premium MembersNew views on real estate compensation
The debate just won't go away. Do mainstream compensation practices in the real estate industry benefit consumers? Is a percentage-based compensation structure equitable, considering the wide variance of home prices in markets across the country? Should brokers representing buyers be paid directly by buyers, rather than the dominant system of the listing broker offering compensation to the buyer's broker?


Premium MembersReal estate without walls
